There's no fuel in the United States and New York will be terribly cold when you arrive. You know how they always depend on central heating there. I've never been there myself, but I've heard about it." I knew that he believed it and I didn't argue. Besides, maybe it was true. How could I tell? I had had no news from America since P earl Harbor, almost two years before. I didn't think it could be true, but anything can happen In this world. It was no use arguing. I saw Frankie near the door, mak- ing gestures indicating that he wanted to talk to me alone. \\1 e walked slowly down the hall toward the elevator and he spoke in low tones. "It's about my wife and this boat," he said. "I've decided to send her along to the States." "Oh r Is she on the list?" I "vas sur- prised. "Well" no." Frankie hesitated. "I didn't -put her name down because I never thought the boat would really go, see, but now. . . Of course we're O.K., really, but prohably these raids will go on for a little while, until they've shot down all the American planes, and the wife's a little nervous. After all, she's American. So I've decided to send her I " a ong. I looked at him wonderingly. It was not so easy to get on that boat. "Do you think you can arrange it now, at the last minute r" I asked. "Do you know the list has been approved in W ashing- ton and it's closed now?" "Oh, that's all right. The gendarmes could fix that," said Frankie. "They'd do anything for me. But I've been thinking. If the gendarmes go and tell the Foreign Affairs people to put her In, those F oreign Affairs people will be of- fended at me. You know how sensi- tive all these Japanese officials are. So I've decided it will look better if you do . " It. "Me? I can't do anything. I can't-" "You know the Foreign Affairs peo- ple," Frankie said. "You just take us in, see, and tell them about my wife. Of course if they say no, why, then the gendarmes will have to put her aboard over their heads, but I think it would be nicer like this. It looks better." I thought fast. "You're wrong, Mr. Zung," I said. "Look here. If we go in like that, the Foreign Affairs man will surely say no, because they don't realize how important you really are around here. The list has been closed; they've been saying no all day to every- body. So the gendarmes will surely have to act over their heads, and the Foreign Affairs men will lose face. Do you see? It would be much better to go straight to the gendarmes now and ot to be turned down first by the civilian officials. It's easy enough, since the gendarmes will do anything for you, as you say." I moved off, leaving him standing there, looking thoughtful. "Good luck, :Mr. Zung," I said. "Why don't you go along with her, by the way?" "Oh," he said, "that's impossible. They'll never let me go; they need me too much. Besides, I'm \\1 est Indian. I couldn't get into the States. I'm British." It was an odd tiule to be bringing that up, I thought. But a lot of people were suddenly remembering their Brit- ish passports. I'll never know if Frankie really did try it out on the gendarmes. Probably he didn't dare. But if he .diçl, he found out that they weren't omnipotent, after all. I wondered, while I was packing, how he felt now about the Japanese treatment of colored people. Of course, he really didn't have much to complain abou t; they had been more than decent to him. "That's our weakness," I mused. "That's the big drawback to our win- ning this war . We'll win, but we'll still be up against the color har and all the resentment it stirs up. The J aps had a chance: 'Asia for the Asiatics.' It sounds well. They missed the boat, but they've got a head start with people like Zung." I saw Frankie once again before we sailed. He stopped me in the street to tell me that his baby had been born safe- ly and he was feeling wonderful. "Eigh t pounds he weighed! " Frankie crowed. "It's a boy, and he's the cutest thing you ever saw. Little hands and everything. . . . Oh yes, thanks, my wife's fine. Oh, he's a swell baby. And he looks exactly like me, exactly, onlv for one thing." His face glowed with pride and happiness. "His skin's abso- lutely white," said Frankie. "Yes, sir. He took after my wife that way. Lucky, isn't it r If you didn't know, you couldn)t ever tell he wasn't white," said Frankie. -EMILY HAHN . LADY IN BLACK A pulsing scent that men cannot forget. For the Opera.
